Experienced tutor in Guitar in Fullerton, Gary offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I studied for just a few months in
1997-98 with Gary Bruno in Southern California, and he really got me
heading in the right direction.

You are a great teacher !! I mean it. I was amazed at how well you communicate music theory and practical
applications of the lesson.

Gary is a wonderful teacher and mentor. He is the first instructor that I felt was
genuinely interested in my personal success. It didn't matter if we went overtime, he just wants me to succeed. I highly recommend
him for any level of music instruction.

In English
"Gary is the best teacher. Actually, he is my first teacher for JAZZ guitar in the
US. Even so, I really think he is BEST. He has excellent technique, knowledge,
good musical sense, and humor. Also he never bore me, which means he always
provides me the appropriate levels of tasks. We can enjoy a challenge. Anyway, I
always enjoy learning & playing with Gary! In fact, I'm Japanese and not good at
English, but he is always kind and try to understand what I say. Don't hesitate for
getting start playing with Gary even if you are not good at English like me."

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. I asked around for the best of the best
and was referred to Gary. I tracked him down and by far, he is the best step I
ever took to learn guitar. His background, his ability, his style, his personality,
and his love of the guitar make it an absolute joy. Gary is a "must do" for anyone
who desires to leap light years forward and really play the guitar.

" There are few teachers who can teach students beyond intermediate level.
Gary's passion, enthusiasm and knowledge had a huge impact on me becoming
the player I am today !"

As an adult beginner learning the guitar later in life; I’m so lucky to have found
Gary. He’s been the perfect instructor for me – Patient, encouraging and his
lessons strike the perfect balance of fun & challenging. I’m even more excited
about learning guitar thanks to Gary.

In my lifetime, I've had about a half dozen music teachers for either violin or
guitar, and though all were accomplished musicians and teachers, Gary has
been uniquely exceptional in his ability to help me realize the more difficult
aspects of my learning goals. Whether you simply want to learn how to play a
tune, or want to learn the theory and mechanics in the framework of a piece,
Gary has a phenomenal capacity to articulate his explanations in ways that all
levels of learners can readily understand and apply in their practice. In the time
I've been his student, I truly feel that he's not only taught me the foundational
concepts and techniques I've needed to improve my playing and understanding
of music, but has also given me the tools to begin to problem solve my way
through problems that I may encounter in the course of my practice.

“Gary is bar far the greatest guitar teacher I have ever had. I’ve had 6 different
instructors in the past 12 years and I learned more from Gary in two months of
training then I did accumulative of the 12 years of all the other teachers. I wish I
had started with Gary, I would be unstoppable!”
